This course meets the environmental health MPH core course requirement. All Environmental Health concentrators must take this course. Non-Environmental Health concentrators may choose between this course and EH708, which is a less technical course. Students who take this course cannot also take EH708 for degree credit. EH765 covers many of the same diverse topics that are covered in EH708. The course considers the technical foundations of environmental hazards, their impacts on public health, and the role of social, political, and regulatory factors in assessing, controlling, and preventing environmental hazards. Students who complete EH765 will have the necessary "tools of the trade" that will form the base for upper level courses in the Environmental Health Department.
